Not sure what you want to do after high school? It's a good idea to research how a bachelor's degree would impact your average salary. Search by field of study and degree type on CollegeScorecard.ed.gov to learn more.
Wage and salary workers with at least a bachelor's degree make on average $699 more each week. This is in comparison to high school graduates in college/who are full-time workers age 25 and over. This is sourced from a summary of the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Usual Weekly Earnings of Wage and Salary Workers from the Second Quarter of 2023 found at the website noted in the image.

Building Problem-Solving Skills Through “Speed Dating”

When students solve each other’s problems, they gain confidence in their own skills and witness the power of collaboration in real time.
